Nas wants quick end to messy Kelis divorce

Rapper Nas can’t wait to put his messy divorce from R&B singer Kelis firmly behind him so he can focus on his work and fatherhood.

The “I Can” hitmaker, real name Nasir Jones, has been embroiled in a bitter battle with estranged wife Kelis since she filed for divorce last year, just months before the birth of their first son Knight in July.

Nas was hauled into court on Monday, when a Los Angeles judge ordered him to hand over more than $290,000 in late child and spousal support payments, in addition to covering Kelis’ legal and accounting bills.

The former couple is still working on hashing out the rest of its divorce settlement, but Nas, who also has a daughter named Destiny from a previous relationship, admits he’ll be relieved when it’s all over.

He says, “All I want to do is make music and raise my kids. Nothing else matters.”
